The relaxed expression and slung rifle make this fusilier feel like a man photographed during a pause. His Normandy subject belongs to the campaign inland, not automatically to the first wave on a landing beach.
This helmeted Royal Marine takes a commando collection to Sicily in July 1943. The ordinary working clothes are a reminder that an elite role did not require a theatrical pose or a green beret in every situation.
The khaki cap and service dress replace the ceremonial image many readers associate with the Guards. Del Prado’s lieutenant shows an officer equipped for field service, with observation and personal equipment shaping the pose.
A wide-brimmed hat, khaki shorts and compact automatic weapon give this Gurkha corporal a distinctive tropical-service outline. The date places him in the campaign against Japan, well before the later Malayan Emergency.
The feather bonnet, tartan and bagpipes make this one of the most elaborate silhouettes in the Del Prado First World War group. It is a musician’s portrait, with the instrument and clothing carrying a story different from that of a rifleman.
This corporal carries his rifle over the shoulder and wears practical khaki rather than the green dress associated with the Rifle Brigade’s earlier history. The figure makes continuity and change visible within one regimental tradition.
Harness straps and observation equipment make this figure an aviation subject without an aeroplane. The balloon observer represents one of the practical links between flight, reconnaissance and the guns on the ground.
NA097 is cataloged as a sergeant, a useful distinction in a range full of officers. His telescope and composed stance bring an experienced non-commissioned role into the artillery display.
NA087 builds a three-figure encounter around Sergeant Charles Ewart and the standard of the French 45th Line. It is a compact way to explore both a battlefield capture and the later memory created around it.
The bright sleeve decoration and raised instrument distinguish NA084 before the viewer notices the pale horse. This is a cavalry figure whose purpose can be explained through sound and recognition rather than a drawn weapon.
